CHAPTER 58: CHAPTER 31: SMASHING THE SHOP

Jing Anjun cautiously backed out from the ancestral hall of his home. When he turned around and stepped out the door, the expression on his face suddenly changed.

"You little brat, how dare you deceive me!"

If at this moment he still couldn’t see that Mu Yunchu deliberately set him up, then all these years he’s been in vain.

Walking to the living room, his secretary was silently standing by the sofa waiting.

Jing Anjun glanced at him, his gaze unclear.

Then Jing Anjun directly went up and slapped him.

The secretary just lowered his head even further.

As if he was long accustomed to it.

Jing Anjun moved his neck, seemingly unsatisfied, he grabbed a golf club from the side and mercilessly hit the secretary over and over again.

Only after the club broke did he finally lean against the sofa with a sense of relief and took deep breaths.

The first thing he said: "Go get ten thousand from finance later."

The secretary: "..."

"By the way, have those people who went to trouble Mu Yunchu last time gotten out of the hospital yet?"

Previously, he sent a group of people to intimidate Mu Yunchu, but somehow they ended up being crushed by a house.

Word is they’re still in the hospital.

Whether they live or die is none of his concern, the problem is he’s a few men short on his crew.

People from outside are always less convenient to use.

The secretary, supporting his shoulder, struggled to stand up and said those people would likely have trouble moving even if they were discharged.

Upon hearing that, Jing Anjun cursed them as useless.

"Then go find someone outside, no matter the cost."

"And smash that damn store for me!"

Mu Yunchu dared to play him like this, he won’t be appeased unless he makes her pay a price.

The secretary opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but upon seeing the sinister eyes of his boss, wisely kept silent.

He limped out.

Ruijing itself rose from real estate, and in this business, there’s always some dabbling in both black and white sides of the law.

Especially the former.

So, quickly after he issued this order, someone took the job.

It was a small-time thug named Gao Liang, active in Xinglin District.

Not particularly strong, but somewhat reputable.

At least stronger than the previous group under Jing Anjun’s hand.

And they truly run in the underworld.

Jing Anjun’s name isn’t unfamiliar in their circles either.

Wealthy, audacious, and quick to settle payments, many people are willing to do business with him.

So this job was built on a pleasant foundation for both sides.

Gao Liang, upon seeing the requirements, was stunned for a moment, "Smashing a store that sells paper offerings for ten thousand?"

This is too easy to earn.

Jing Anjun’s secretary affirmed it.

Gao Liang shrugged while curling a corner of his mouth, "Alright, after all, it’s a rich man’s idea."

You take someone’s money and do their job.

Gao Liang only rested briefly, and by early next morning, led his men to the target store.

Looking up at the sign above with the material in hand, he read aloud: "A Folk Cultural Supplies Store."

Then couldn’t help but sneer, "What a lousy name."

After confirming it was the store they were to smash, he waved his hand, and the brothers behind him immediately understood, brought a stool forward and sat down heavily.

"Is anybody here?"

"The owner of this store, come out!"

It was still early in the morning.

The surrounding area was already sparsely populated, and at this time, many stores were still not open. So Gao Liang’s shout directly scared away the birds on the trees around.

Inside the house.

Li Shang, who had just boiled a kettle of water, paused.

"Huh? What’s happening today, a customer this early?"

Thinking Mu Yunchu was still in the backyard washing up, they had spent quite some effort dusting last night, causing them to wake up later than usual this morning.

So without even putting down the kettle, she went out to meet them.

After all, she is the store’s ’star salesperson’.

But upon seeing the group at the door, she was stunned.

Didn’t speak immediately, instead covertly scrutinized the others.

The posture of these people... no way they’re here to shop.

When Gao Liang saw someone come out, he tilted his head, "Are you the owner of this store?"

His tone wasn’t exactly friendly.

It even carried a whiff of danger.

With a turn of her eyes, she had a guess in her heart: could it be these people came for Yun Chu?

Her aura immediately turned colder, just as she was about to step forward to negotiate with these people, Mu Yunchu patted her shoulder from behind.

"I am the store owner."

Mu Yunchu’s calm eyes swept over those in front.

Clearly, standing here she was supposedly the ’weaker’ side in every aspect, yet her presence on the step was one of looking down on the world.

"You?"

This time Gao Liang stood up directly.

A bigger reaction than before, "Each younger than the last."

"No wonder this store looks so shabby, turns out it’s run by ’women.’

I don’t even need to smash it; the inside already looks like a garbage dump."

At his words, the group of brothers behind him all burst into laughter.

Li Shang found their laughter extremely grating, if not for Mu Yunchu warning her not to harm them, she would’ve taught them a lesson no matter what.

Holding back her temper, she raised her voice, "What are you guys up to?"

Hearing this, Gao Liang laughed even more happily.

"What, can’t you tell?"

"Of course, it’s to smash your store!"

As if to affirm his words, at that moment, everyone behind him took out their sticks, fully displaying their full momentum.

Extremely oppressive.

Gao Liang chuckled, "How about it, scared yet."

"Don’t blame us for not being gentle, blame yourselves for getting involved with the wrong people."

Seeing Mu Yunchu and Li Shang remain silent, Gao Liang assumed they were too scared to speak. His gaze swept over their lovely faces, and suddenly had another idea.

"Actually, at first, I just wanted to smash your store."

"But now I’ve changed my mind."

"I also want you both."

He excitedly rubbed his hands together, but suddenly, the barking of a dog startled him.

Looking at the big black dog beside Mu Yunchu, anger climbed onto his face, furrowing his brows, he cursed: "Where did this beast come from! Shut up already!"

The big black dog wasn’t intimidated at all by his demeanor and barked even more fiercely.

"Fine!" Gao Liang threatened, "Just wait, soon I’ll make dog meat soup out of you!"

As Gao Liang prepared to move, perhaps the barking was too loud, and it woke up the owner of the store opposite.

Rubbing his eyes, he gasped at the scene and immediately wanted to help Mu Yunchu call the police.

"Miss Mu, did you get into some trouble?"

"Do you need me to call the police for you?"

However...

Just as he finished speaking, these people all turned their heads to look at him.

Having never encountered such a scene, where over a dozen people, each with a weapon, surrounded Mu Yunchu’s store.

Every single person looked formidable.

Especially upon seeing the face of the leader, his legs went weak with fear.

"B-Brother Liang?"

Inside, waves of shock surged.

This Mu Yunchu... how did she manage to attract the underworld?

This Gao Liang is a notorious thug in the area!
